As the knockout rounds loom, Lineker is confident that France will navigate their path through the tournament with ease. Les Bleus secured their spot after dominating their group with a perfect nine points, following victories over Senegal (3-1), Iraq (3-0), and Norway (4-1). They have been propelled by the stellar form of stars Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele, who have both been firing on all cylinders with four goals each. With this momentum, Lineker believes the depth and talent available to Deschamps make them nearly unstoppable, regardless of who they face in the immediate future.
“France can qualify for the quarter-finals without any problem. So I believe you can sleep soundly,” Lineker concluded, reassuring French supporters of their status at the top of the mountain. With stars like Mbappe and Dembele leading the charge, the pundit sees little standing in the way of a third star for the French jersey.
